MKA Boys MS Basketball fell to top seeded @RutgersPrep tonight in the MSAC Championship. MKA finished the season 13-3 while also capturing a Dwight Englewood Tournament Championship along the way. Congrats to Rutgers Prep who brought home their first MSAC Championship.

MS Football at MKA has now finished .500 or better in 5 of their last 6 seasons dating back to 2018 (No 2020 season due to COVID).

MKA MS Football (2-1-1) finished their 2024 season yesterday with a loss against a tough Delbarton squad. The team averaged 16.3 ppg while allowing 13 ppg. Dating back to last season, the program is now 6-2-1 in their last 9 games with a +87 scoring differential.

Pretty wild that one year from today the Yankees will have 27 World Championships and Juan Soto will be a Met. #WorldSeries2024

Last week, MKA Boys MS Basketball (14-3) brought home their first MSAC Championship with a 47-41 win over the Peck School. They finished a perfect 8-0 in conference play. The squad averaged 48 ppg and outscored their opponents by 174 points on the season. #GenerationNext

It may be 27 degrees outside but the @MKAAthletics Basketball Program is hot heading into winter break as Boys Varsity (3-1), Girls Varsity (2-2), Boys JV (3-1), Boys MS (4-1), and Girls MS (5-0) combined to go 10-0 this week in conference play. #Cougars

MKA MS Football finishes their 2023 campaign at 4-1. The Cougars finished with a +73 scoring differential on the season, averaging 24 ppg. The program has now finished .500 or better in 4 of the last 5 seasons. Can’t wait to see the 8th graders at the next level in 2024.

DID IT FOUR MIAMI.
